Question

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point. y = x + 8; (4, 10)

A. y = x

B. y = x + 6

C. y = x – 6

D. y = x + 6

A, B, C, or D? Please explain (:

Answer 1

parallel lines have the same gradients.. and gradient in a line is the cofficient of "x"
u have gradient and point use this formula.
y-y1 = m (x-x1)
can u do it now?

Answer 2

here is an example of a line parallel to y=x+8.
except we don't want this line! :O we need the one that passes through (4,10) hmmmm.
